My wife Jen and I are finally moving to San Francisco – completing a goal that we have had for over 3 years. It has not been easy – but we are extremely happy to be moving to the City. We fell in love with San Francisco on our first visit back in 2003. When we first visited, we noticed that he people were extremely open, friendly and helpful – especially considering the size of the city. San Francisco was a beautiful city and very multicultural. Jen and I were impressed and found that it had everything we were looking for in a place to live – employment opportunities, and open-minded, accepting and progressive spirit, an interesting history, good public transportation, diversity, and a unique charm and character. It has been our dream since our first visit to live there and I am very happy to write that our dream will be coming true this week. Thank you to all the people who made this possible!
Jen and I really feel that we can truly begin to work to our fullest potential in San Francisco. While things have been better for us in Livermore, California than they were back in Ohio, we still felt stifled for many reasons. Now we feel a great sense of relief, and are full of hope and optimism for the future.

Cities I've Visited
About Me
- Matt
- Lima, Ohio, United States
- I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.

Congratulations, Matt. When are you two moving?
Matt, I haven't heard from you in awhile.
I wanted to let you know also that I moved my blog. It's no longer on a blogspot web address.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas. I spent it alone mostly working on my web site - those are the breaks.
Sorry I have not been able to get on-line very much in the past month and a half. We have been very busy with moving and organizing. Now I am just atarting to go though the nearly 30,000 emails that I have in my inbox...
